The article is very specific: discusses a particular gene called KIN-29, using worms as the object of study. When fat stores are released, sleep is promoted. Therefore, larger amounts of obesity lead to less sleep in this study. #umassdev20 #week14

This article is about the importance of fostering language development in children from a young age. Caregivers are encouraged to talk TO their children and engage in conversation early on. They cited various other studies to emphasize this matter.

[Rachel Prince @raepsych20]

The researchers described "Number talk" and explained it to caregivers well, showing how it would help math skills later on in life. They also emphasized teaching children what happened in the past, present, and future and showing them how to look at concepts from perspectives.

According to James Marcia's theory of identity status groups, most adolescents tend to be in identity diffusion or foreclosure. Thought this was interesting because this was something I could relate to my own life in middle school/high school! #umassdev20 #week14

Children of ethnic minority parents are more likely to be aware of discrimination against their group and feel isolated and doubtful and their own sense of self and identity. #umassdev20 #week13

This article states how important it is for children to engage with written material before going to school. This resolves any reading comprehension issues in adolescence and sets kids up for success. It also explains the role governments should play.
